Gasoline Credit Cards

We haven't used a gasoline credit card for many years. We have a citi/Costco Visa card we use for fuel(4%), restaurants(3%) and hotels(3%) plus 2% at Costco. If there is a upcharge for a credit purchase we go elsewhere.
For all other purchases I use a Cabelas Visa card which the cash reward helps pay for our yearly fishing trip to Nebraska.
Don't need or use anything else.

Shell has a casrd and Exxon/Mobile (Plenti card) Both can earn credits at "other than gas stations" the Plenti-card works at Bi-Lo Supermarkets.

Both are in South Carolina and GA but Shell's are getting somewhat rare.

Also check with BP... YOu may find there is a "Sister" station here in teh south.

I use a Citi card that gives you 5% back on gasoline purchases.
That's all gas stations everywhere no matter what brand.

I just filled up my 30 gallon truck tank at $2.69 a gallon and paid $80.

The card gives me $4.00 back on that purchase. $.05 per gallon would only be $1.50.

The trick is finding a gas station that charges the same for cash or credit. Generally "Speedway" here in the northeast, but I just hit up a Shell.

We use cards that get an immediate discount at the pump. I'm not interested in the "I'll gladly pay you tomorrow for a hamburger today".

I had a Shell card for quite a few years. used it often. Then, in the past 2 years or so, they closed every Shell station within 20 miles of my house. They then closed my account for "non-use". When I called their customer service, I was told I "could always apply again". What a deal !

Sunoco, Valero, BP, Conoco, EXXON, Gulf, all offer "same as cash (price)" if you use their card at their stations. (Sometimes as much as 9 -10 cents/gallon)

Years ago, I used to have a Texaco card...used it quite a bit...however, in Benson, AZ, I pulled into a Texaco station, pump would not take the card. Was told "we're not the same Texaco". Still don't understand that one.

I can only guess that the folks starting in Texas, (at least on I-10)have (politically conservative) problems with foreign communist governments. (More than the (quite more) liberal east coast) To wit: the CITGO brand....from Venezuela. EVERY (former) CITGO station I took note of, had the CITGO sign covered and another brand showing.

I wrote CITGO about it, suggesting the "political climate" issue, of course, as expected, they denied it...called it "business decisions" and "matters of supply" . My CITGO card expired and they never offered to renew it and I never did. No biggie. ;)

Interesting.

We use our BOA Visa for ALL purchases......cash back rewards on all purchases that automatically go into our savings account

We also shop at Kroger Stores......accumulate fuel points which we then use at Fry's Fuel Station
( Cala Foods, City Markets, Copps, Dillons, FoodsCo, Fred Meyer Stores, Fry's, King Soopers, Mariano's Fresh Market, Metro Market, Pick 'n Save, Quality Food Centers (a.k.a. QFC), Ralphs, Food 4 Less, and Smith's Food and Drug)

shell and sunoco offer .05c a gallon if you use their card

"25 free tanks of fuel"?
Wow. How did you manage to accumulate that kind of reward?

I think Shell has a card but I haven't checked it out so can't give you any details.
